Pollution Control and Atmospheric Pollution

The 'polluter pays principle' is:

• A principle where the polluter bears the costs of managing pollution.

• A principle where the government pays for pollution control.

• A principle where the public pays for pollution control.

• A principle where pollution is ignored.

Which principle suggests that action should be taken to prevent harm to the environment even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically?

The main components of smoke and smoke smogs are:

• carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter

• oxygen, nitrogen, and argon

• hydrogen, helium, and neon

• methane, ethane, and propane

What is the relationship between pollution control cost and efficiency of pollution control as shown in the diagram?

• The cost increases as efficiency increases

• The cost decreases as efficiency increases

• There is no relationship

• The cost remains constant regardless of efficiency

What are the effects of smoke pollution on human health?

• Respiratory problems and heart disease

• Improved lung function

• Increased energy levels

• Better sleep quality

Which of the following is a smoke pollution control measure?
